Nice finds! I didn't know that show was going on or I may have made the road trip up there.

Those are all real nice Rusty. That Buffalo Bill is a dazzler for sure. Awesome sheath, or as some on Ebay call it, a "scabbard". Nice to come away from a show with those.

Thanks Guy's, I passed the table a few times over the space of a couple of hours where the BB166 was, cannot believe I passed it by, I heard a while later that several collectors had turned up looking for Schrade knives, I guess they must of missed it also.

Great finds Russell!!!! Looks like you've got the complete BB set now! Fran had mentioned that show to me in an e-mail and I had forgotten all about it. No matter, as usual I had to work anyway. Looks like you both made out well

Yep. I'm well pleased Eric, I also picked up a while ago One of the Gaucho style Sheaths that went with the BB125, although it does not have the Buffalo Bill stamp in the leather.

Boy I like that 219, is that the same size as an old timer middleman? The long pull makes it a real nice looking package.

The 219 is a 2 3/4" serpentine jack knife. Similar to the Old Timer pattern 104OT and 108OT in size.

Thanks for adding the size thawk!

Close up pics of a subject without a scale reference can be awkward to comprehend.

Hinterland, if you know of the 104OT And the 108OT without measurments you will realize how small the 219 really is.

6.0stroker, thanks for the comment, I certainly did not expect to pull one of those knives out of a heap of others that seemingly were on the who cares pile.
